First you lay off the building and dig the footers. The inspector has to come out and approve the footers , then you pour them. Concrete is $115 per cubic yard plus a $100 delivery fee for Samson Rd. To find cubic yards, multiply the depth in feet times the length in feet times the width in feet and then divide that answer by 27 cubic ft per cubic yard. The footer needs to be 2 ft wide X 8 inches deep (.66ft) X 128 ft (the perimeter) = 6.25 yds times $115=$718.45 + $50.32 tax =$768.77 + $100 del fee=868.77 You will need 256 linear feet of #4 rebar estimate another $100 or about 968.00 By the time the batter board are figured in, the material cost will be just over $1000 for the footers
Then for the blocks: est 300 12 inch blocks and 900 8 inch blocks est $2400 + $1.50 each to lay or $1800 + sand est $200 delivered and mortar mix 50 bags est $6.50 per bag or $325 total about $4725 for the foundation Then, you need to pour concrete in the blocks which have dirt against them, est 10 more yards of concrete or $1250 + the anchors for the sill plates Total materials to here about $7000 Then you need to cover the floor with 4 inches of washed stone and have it treated for tiermites and inspected cost here (have stone delivered in a mixer to spread easily) $500 + the termite treatment est about $1200 or about $1700 total Then after this inspection, you can pour the concrete floor(slab) and it will take 32X32X.33/27 or about 13 yards of concrete$1495 + tax of $104.65 or $1599.65+ $30 per yard to pour or $390 for a total for the slab of just at $2000 Total cost to here about $9000 + labor to lay off, dig footers, form and pour footers, level the stone, place the grade stakes and to pour concrete into the walls est $2000 if you didnt do any of it yourself for about $11000 , you have a foundation ready to start putting the framing onto. |
